Glad you live...@Anonymous, thanks for your comment! Glad you lived to tell the tale. I once read that we're all born with two jars: a Luck jar, filled with N number of marbles, and an empty Experience jar. Every time you get lucky, you use up one of the luck jar marbles, and so you better be wise enough to transfer it to the experience jar rather than having it get wasted.

This was back in 1991. I recall being stuck just as you were. I can 100% confirm that once you are up there, you cannot come back down unless you cross over.
